Modeling and Simulation of Dual Three-Phase Induction Machine using Matlab/Simulink

In the past ten years, there has been a significant increase in the development of power electronic components and embedded systems. This growth has led to a faster adoption of multiphase machines, primarily due to their ability to segment power, lower torque pulsation, stability, high efficiency and the rise of critical applications that demand a foremost of fault tolerance. As the number of phases increases, it becomes feasible to enhance the power or torque generated per rms ampere within the same-sized machine. Dual three-phase drives have garnered considerable attention due to their straightforward design, which involves rewiring from standard three-phase machines. This paper introduces a dual three-phase induction machine dynamic modelling developed using Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results for the transient response of a dual three-phase induction machine are provided under varying load conditions and speed references. The model demonstrates its effectiveness based on all the results presented.
